The alternative life of the clever sister of the Red Chamber

Lin Daiyu and Jia Wan, master and servant, walked in the front, and girls and women followed behind. Jia Wan raised her head curiously from time to time to look at Lin Daiyu a few times, and when Lin Daiyu looked over, she looked at others. place.

Lin Daiyu knew what Jia Wan was thinking, and asked with a smile: "Qiaoer is curious, why has my attitude towards Baoyu changed?"

Jia Wan chuckled, because she was young and thick-skinned, she was not afraid of being poked into her mind, "Yes! Aunt Lin, why?" Ever since Lin Daiyu and Jia's mother explained their thoughts, they kept Jia Baoyu at a respectful distance. Fortunately, one is in the garden and the other is outside. There are not many opportunities to meet each other, and even fewer opportunities to talk. With Jia Baoyu's sister's company, I can't take care of it for a while.But Lin Daiyu's reaction today is indeed a bit strange. If Jia Baoyu had said such things before, Lin Daiyu would probably turn around and leave, so why would she tell him so much.

Lin Daiyu sighed, she was also awakened by Zijuan's words. Before that, she always thought that since she didn't have that kind of thought about Baoyu, it's better to stay away from each other in daily life, but now she understands that she and Baoyu After all, it is the friendship between children, even if there is no relationship between men and women, there is still brother and sister friendship.After all, Baoyu was grandmother's heart and soul. In the past, Baoyu spent most of the day in her grandmother's room, only going back to rest at night.Now for her own sake, grandma doesn't ask Baoyu to come and talk to her.My grandmother is already old, so why do I have to make things difficult for my grandmother in order to avoid suspicion?What's more, the clearer clears himself. She did that before, but she became rigid.

"Remember, Qiaoer, what is clear is clear by itself, and what is turbid is turbid by itself. Just do everything according to your heart."

Jia Wan scratched her head, expressing that it was too profound for me to understand.

Seeing her like this, Lin Daiyu stretched out her hand to pinch her face, remembering the consequences of Baochai's actions yesterday, she put down her hand bitterly, and finally couldn't help it, and tapped her forehead lightly, "I don't know you How does the skin of this body take care of, it turns red with a little effort. Don’t make trouble for me, you can definitely understand, don’t think I don’t know. It’s just that you are like this, too much sharpness is not a good thing after all, knowing how to hide clumsiness Just fine."

Jia Wan took a deep look at Lin Daiyu, and felt that her small thoughts were not enough for these pure ancients!Especially the few people in this mansion are all good people!

Lin Daiyu and Jia Wan greeted Jia's mother first, and Jia's mother beckoned them to sit down beside her. The weather was getting hotter, and Jia's mother thought that the child would be angry, so she asked Jia Wan to move to live in the green gauze closet. After staying for a few days, I found that no matter how hot the weather was, Jia Wan's body was cool and comfortable, so she asked Jia Wan to move back.Jia Wan was actually reluctant, after all, she slept with Jia's mother and had no personal space at all, but she was too young to have the right to speak.It can only be moved back.

Jia's mother put her arms around Jia Wan and said: "I just love to hold my Qiao'er. You don't know her benefits. This little girl is warm in winter and cool in summer. Winter is fine. Children are very angry. It's normal to be hot, but in this summer, Qiaoer's body is cold, just like a good piece of cold jade, now, I can't live without her!"

Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue heard this, and smiled apologetically: "After all, the old lady is very lucky!"

Aunt Xue wanted to make the old lady happy, so she pretended to say: "Is it true? I don't believe it. The old lady asked me to hug and see."

Mother Jia wanted to show off her great-granddaughter, so she patted Jia Wan's hand and signaled her to go to Aunt Xue. Aunt Xue really took Jia Wan's hand, and the tentacles were really cool, and she hugged Jia Wan in her arms again. It's already getting hot, the old lady is too old to use ice, she only relies on the maid to play the fan, Aunt Xue and others are sitting beside her, the little clothes inside are already a little wet with sweat, now she holds Jia Wan in her arms , I really feel cold and refreshing.

Aunt Xue said strangely: "In the past, I only heard stories about a beloved concubine named Mrs. Huarui, with icy muscles and bones, cool and sweatless, but now I have seen it, and we Qiaoer are the same!"

After Madam Wang heard this, her heart moved slightly, she raised her eyes to look at Jia Wan, then lowered her head, and when she looked up again, she was already smiling.

Jia's mother was also moved in her heart. The reason why she praised Jia Wan was not only the original dream, but also because of Jia Wan's cleverness these days, which made her see the shadow of Yuan Chun back then.However, Yuan Chun still has some disadvantages compared to Jia Wan. One is status. Yuan Chun is just the daughter of a fifth-rank official, and the other is appearance. Yuan Chun is dignified and stable, while Jia Wan is delicate and beautiful. posture.

Jia Wan faintly felt something, but she was not sure. She turned to look at Lin Daiyu, and found that Lin Daiyu had the same expression.At this time, Mrs. Wang just mentioned that tomorrow is Xue Pan's birthday. Aunt Xue immediately smiled and said that she had set up a few tables of banquets and invited a theater troupe. I don't know if the old lady will appreciate her face?Everyone immediately brought the topic back to tomorrow's drinking scene.

After Mrs. Xing, Aunt Xue, Lin Daiyu and others left, Mrs. Wang found an excuse to stay, and Mother Jia waved away the waiting people and said, "Although Aunt Xue's words were rough, but Qiaoer's qualifications are indeed good. The material for a favorite concubine must not be wasted. If the empress has a son, the Jia family will be rich and honorable for 50 years. When the time comes to find a good family for Qiaoer, it will be the help of the empress and the little prince. If not... ··”

Mrs. Wang took a deep breath, "What the old lady said is right!" In fact, Mrs. Wang didn't want Jia Wan to go the same way as Yuan Chun.However, since Yuan Chun became a concubine, there has been no good news. He secretly searched for doctors and medicines, and found a lot of secret recipes for giving birth. There has been no news. Backer, at that time, it was time for Qiaoer to dedicate herself to the family.

"In the future, Qiao'er's division will be the same as Baoyu's! When you enter the palace on the sixth day, ask your mother for a few nuns to teach you. How will Qiaoer's future be? Even if you don't enter the palace, or marry the prince, or marry into the right family, it's good for Baoyu." Jia Mu was afraid that Mrs. Wang would be confused, so she specially selected Baoyu to let Mrs. Wang know that Ruoqiaoer will marry well in the future. It is also good for Baoyu.

Mrs. Wang didn't know Jia's mother's thoughts, but this person was Jia Wan. After all, half of the Wang family's blood flowed on her body. If she recovered, it would be good for both the Wang family and the Jia family.If it were someone else, she wouldn't have such a good bearing.However, Jia Wan is Dafang's granddaughter after all, if she gets married well, Dafang will inevitably start shaking too.Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang secretly hated Wang Xifeng for being out of control. If she was still in the mansion, she would have her own way to prevent her from giving birth to a son!But today, Emperor Gao is far away, and he can't touch her side!Now I just hope that the hard work I did before was not in vain!After all, as long as Feng girl can't give birth to a son, and the concubine can't inherit the title after the big house is gone, then this Rongguo mansion will belong to Baoyu sooner or later!At that time, Jia Wan is just a girl, and if she gets married well, she can only protect Baoyu!

"What the old lady said is that when I see the empress later, let the empress find a few nuns, preferably from the queen mother's palace. But if you find it, it will only be given to Qiaoer, the girls in the family and Lin. Where is Ya Tou Bao, Ya Tou?"

"Didn't the two girls hire a nanny? That's enough. As for Lin girl and Bao girl, there's no need, their future paths will be different!" Mother Jia said after pondering for a moment. She won't slap herself, and grab another one to compete with Yuan Chun. After all, Jia Wan is a generation shorter, so she won't hinder Jia Yuanchun no matter what.

"Yes, the old lady is considerate." Mrs. Wang also thought of this point, since she was hired from the empress dowager's palace, the things taught are naturally different from those taught by ordinary mothers.

In Lin Daiyu's bedroom, Jia Wan was drawing red, but at this time her mind was not on it. She always thought of the eyes of Mrs. Wang and Jia Mu at that time, and always felt that there was something hidden around her.But she doesn't know anything.No, it's not okay to count on the family relationship between Jiamu and Mrs. Wang, she must know something, even if she can't avoid it, she should make some preparations!

Thinking of this, Jia Wan put down her pen, "Aunt Lin, I have something to go out for."

Lin Daiyu was also thinking about something, the book in her hand hadn't been turned for a long time, she nodded upon hearing this, "Go!" Seeing Jia Wan go out, Lin Daiyu sighed and put down the book in her hand.

Zijuan came in with two bowls of lotus leaf Poria cocos porridge, looked up, "Hey, where is Miss Qiao?"

Lin Daiyu frowned, "She said she has something to do. I guess she should go to Ping'er!"

Zijuan put the lotus leaf Poria cocos porridge on the table and put away the books Lin Daiyu was reading. Heat, peace of mind and peace of mind. Let's taste it, girl!"

Lin Daiyu nodded, and Zijuan came over with a bowl. Lin Daiyu drank a few sips, but was worried about Jia Wan, "Qiaoer didn't take anyone with her when she went out, so ask Yueer to meet Lian's second sister-in-law in the yard."

Zicuckoo responded and went down to give orders.

In the room, although Lin Daiyu drank the porridge, she couldn't taste any taste in her mouth.She was also thinking about what happened just now. After Aunt Xue said that, the eyes of the old lady and the second aunt changed.Could it be that they really have that idea, isn't it enough to send a big sister in?Do you want to take another Qiaoer in?In such a huge Rongguo Mansion, there is not even a man standing upright, and all of them are counting on the women to get ahead so that they can support their mother's family?Everyone is still acting as if they are used to it!

Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu sighed, should she be thankful that the old lady still has some sincerity towards herself, but what about Qiaoer, what should Qiaoer do?

Lin Daiyu was worried about Jia Wan, and Jia Wan was also talking about it with Ping'er. Ping'er was very busy these days, and he never had a good time to rest. Either Jia Yun had something to come back from outside, or the girls were housekeepers. Have a question.Now when I suddenly heard Jia Wan talking about this, I couldn't help but say, "Is what the girl said true?"

Jia Wan nodded, "Although I'm not very sure, but there are some shadows, just because I don't feel at ease, so I want to ask Aunt Ping to inquire quietly, and see what the old ancestor and his wife are planning."

Ping'er sighed, his eyes were red, "Don't worry, girl, I understand. You are still young! Everything is decided by the second master and second grandma!" In fact, Ping'er himself felt guilty when he said this. If this mansion had its word, it would not have avoided going outside.But, now, she can only comfort Jia Wan with these words.

Jia Wan nodded, she thought very openly, since she was dressed as a woman, she was still a woman of this era, she was already ready to be sacrificed.Just, how to sacrifice?For whom?Who benefits at her expense?She always has to figure it out, and if possible, she should try her best to choose a relatively easy path for herself!

"It's getting late, I'll take the girl back! I remember what the girl said, and I will go quietly to inquire tomorrow. Is the girl's money still in hand? If there is not enough, ask someone to tell me, and I will send it to the girl. The girl doesn't know, but Uncle Yun is really talented. Second Mistress's shops, which were half dead, are now in his hands. In just a few months, the business has improved a lot! Look at me, tell the girl What are you doing with these?" Ping'er was talking, holding Jia Wan's hand and walking towards Jia's mother, on the way, he happened to meet Yue'er and Yuan'er who came to pick him up, Ping'er was quite satisfied when he saw her, at last These two little girls knew how to come out to find someone.Just now when she saw the girl running over without taking anyone with her, she was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.

"Why are you? Where's Jade?" Ping'er stood there and asked with a smile.

Yue'er and Yuan'er didn't dare to frolick like they were in front of Jia Wan, so they stood up straight, bowed their heads and replied, "The old lady remembered something, she said it was for our girls, let Sister Fei Cui go and get it!"

When Jia Wan saw Yue'er and Yuan'er coming, she took Ping'er's hand, "Aunt Ping, you go back! You've been tired all day, go take a rest early, I'll go back first because they're here."

Ping'er nodded, she couldn't rest now, she had this matter in her heart, and she had to get it done. "Miss, slow down!" Then he told Yueer and Yuaner a few words, telling them not to be mischievous, so they can take care of the girl. When the second master and second grandma come back in the future, your benefits will be indispensable.So and so, I just went back.

After Ping'er left, Yue'er and Yuan'er breathed a sigh of relief, Yue'er was the most exaggerated, patted her chest, Jia Wan smiled, "Is Aunt Ping so scary? Are you so afraid of her?" It shouldn't be. , Ping'er has always followed the approachable route, and is still very popular among Jia's servants.Why are Yue'er and Yuan'er so afraid of her?

As the name suggests, Yuan'er is round and young, only 11 years old. She is the youngest girl in the family and has the naivest temper. When Jia Wan asked, Yuan'er said honestly, "Sister Ping'er is not scary, but, Every time she sees us, she will tell us to take good care of the girl and not be playful, or she will tell my mother and let my mother teach me. After a long time, I will be afraid of seeing her."

Jia Wan couldn't help laughing, that's how it was.

After Jia Wan went back, she saw the bowl of lotus leaf Poria cocos porridge on the table, and immediately smiled, "Is this for me? Then I'll be rude!"

Lin Daiyu didn't have time to stop her, so she started eating like that, "It's cold, it's time to warm it up before eating."

Jia Wan chuckled, "This weather, if it's cold, it'll be cold!"

Lin Daiyu saw that she was still full of worries before going out, but after going out for a while, she relaxed and smiled. After all, she is still a child, and her thoughts come and go quickly.But think about how old she is, and when she grows up, it will be more than ten years later, who knows what will happen then!Wouldn't it be unfounded to worry about it now?Forget it, let nature take its course!

On the third day of the lunar new year, it was Xue Pan's birthday. There was wine and opera at home, and everyone in Jia's house went, but Xue Baochai was not in good health and did not go.Although Xue Pan was a bit of a jerk, he felt very sorry for his widowed mother and younger sister. Dao's sister was alone in Hengwu Courtyard, bored, so she ordered someone to deliver a banquet, and invited a few female storytellers to send her to her. When I came to Hengwu Courtyard, I only said to relieve my sister's boredom.

When Xue Baochai saw it, she was amused and angry at the same time, she was 'ill' and should be recuperating in peace, but her brother sent someone to send these, not to mention how much she can eat alone!I was moved that my brother was still thinking about me, but I thought in my heart, if my brother put these thoughts on the right path, why would she bother so much?Thinking of this, Xue Baochai lost her interest, and just ate a few mouthfuls of porridge indiscriminately. The whole table of banquets was given to Yinger to share with the future women, and the storyteller also invited him down to rest.

In the evening, when Jia's mother and others came back, Jia Baoyu excitedly pulled Lin Daiyu and Jia Wan to talk about today's play. Sanchun just stood by the side and smiled. It was rare for Mrs. Wang to see Jia Baoyu so happy, so she knew she was sitting next to her drink tea.

Lin Daiyu felt a little impatient. Although she softened her attitude towards Jia Baoyu a lot for the sake of Jia Mu, but in front of Mrs. Wang, she didn't want to get too close to Jia Baoyu and upset her second aunt.She thought about it, and said with a smile: "Second brother, you are so careless! Let's go to Sister Bao's house for a day of fun, but why did you forget Sister Bao? Let's enjoy the wine and the show. , but Sister Bao is alone, alone. Sister Bao treated you so well in the past, and since you are back, you should talk to Sister Bao and talk about today's excitement!"

Jia Baoyu was stunned for a while when he heard this, and then scratched his head embarrassingly, "You're right, I shouldn't have done that. Old ancestor!"

Mother Jia kept squinting her eyes and dozed off, and when she heard Jia Baoyu's words, she nodded with a smile, "Go, go, I really should talk to Bao girl about the excitement today, so she can be happy too."

Mother Jia made a pun, and Mrs. Wang and the others suddenly felt uncomfortable. Only Jia Baoyu didn't notice it, and went excitedly.

After Jia Baoyu left, Mother Jia excused that she was tired and wanted to take a rest, so Mrs. Wang and Sanchun went back separately, while Lin Daiyu and Jia Wan wanted to take advantage of the moonlight to go out for a stroll.Jia's mother also knew that their children were not as early as she went to bed, so she nodded in agreement.

Lin Daiyu and Jia Wan took a few people and walked around the small garden behind Rongqing Hall with lanterns on.

Jia Wan thought of the farce during the day, and couldn't help laughing, "Aunt Lin, do you think Uncle Bao is stupid? I understand what my ancestor said, but he is still ignorant."

Lin Daiyu also laughed, remembering the scene where Xue Pan made a fuss during the banquet. After being drunk, he came in with a male actor in his arms to greet Aunt Xue, but was stopped by someone, but Xue Pan was not happy. There was a lot of nonsense.Except for the old lady, everyone else since Mrs. Wang has changed their faces, especially Aunt Xue, who blushed like something. It's hard for her to make amends in front of Mother Jia after cleaning up the mess for her son.

"I never imagined that the big brother of the Xue family is as good as Long Yang?" Jia Wan was so happy that she lost her composure and blurted out the words!

Lin Daiyu immediately frowned and asked: "Where did you hear these words? You are a boudoir daughter who said these words?" Seeing Jia Wan lowered her head in annoyance, Lin Daiyu remembered that her parents were not around. In her family, after all, how many people really treat her.

Thinking of this, Lin Daiyu turned her head and let Zijuan and others go down, took Jia Wan's hand and walked forward slowly, "Qiaoer, I know you are a precocious, and you know many things very well. But, Qiaoer Son, there are some things, even if you know it, you can only keep it in your heart. I think you know what is going on in our mansion, everyone has their own helplessness."

Jia Wan regretted unceasingly, how could she be so dazed that she even said these words.Fortunately, Aunt Lin heard about it. If it was someone else, they would inevitably cause trouble again.

"However, in the future, you are not allowed to run out without taking anyone with you. I don't know where you heard these nonsense! In the future, don't rely on your young age to run to the second gate!" Lin Daiyu nodded her forehead , Seeing Jia Wan's forehead immediately turned a little red, she felt a little distressed, and even more angry. This child's skin is too good, and if he is not careful, there will be some marks, which are untouchable!In the end, Lin Daiyu had no choice but to say, "Just wait for me! Tomorrow, I will make up for all the homework I missed these days!"

Jia Wan giggled, knowing that this time it was over, but she must be careful in the future, and never get carried away again.Then he smiled and took a few steps forward.

Lin Daiyu followed behind, shaking her head helplessly.I really can't do anything about her.

It's just that Lin Daiyu was still a little worried. Jia Wan was so smart, if she was a little careless, she would be instigated to ruin her, but her grandmother was getting old, so it's not easy to bother her. Yes, although the second wife is both an uncle and an aunt, for some reason, Lin Daiyu doesn't quite trust her.Do you want to write to Sister Feng and ask her to think of a way?

The author has something to say: Within a few days, Lin Daiyu's concerns were solved. The Xiande Concubine gave four nuns, and Jia Mu made the decision. One, Sanchun added a nanny before, but this time there will be no more.

Others were fine, but Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were filled with joy. Did Mother Jia's move mean that she had begun to loosen up and officially regarded Xue Baochai as the candidate for Second Grandma Bao?So I came to Mrs. Wang again for a good meal of flattery.
